GLADD wants Roland Martin to be fired for his comments related to the David Beckham H&M commercial that aired during last night’s Super Bowl.
Conversely, Karl Rove and a few other Republicans are afraid that a different Super Bowl ad was created with the aim of getting President Barack Obama rehired.
The spot in question is narrated by Clint Eastwood and touts both Chrysler and the turnaround of the auto industry in Detroit, with the actor saying via voiceover: It’s “halftime in America and our second half’s about to begin.”
Might this be a veiled reference to a second term for Obama?
Rove believes so, pointing to Eastwood’s claim that Detroit “almost lost everything, but we all pulled together” and “now Motor City is fighting again” as support for the administration’s bailout of various companies in the area.
“I was, frankly, offended by it,” Karl Rove told Fox News this morning. “I’m a huge fan of Clint Eastwood, I thought it was an extremely well-done ad, but it is a sign of what happens when you have Chicago-style politics, and the president of the United States and his political minions are, in essence, using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising.”
Michelle Malkin also took issue with what she referred to as an “auto bailout ad,” which is interesting only because Eastwood has typically been known as a strong conservative.
He even told the Los Angeles Times last year: “We shouldn’t be bailing out the banks and car companies. If a CEO can’t figure out how to make his company profitable, then he shouldn’t be the CEO.”
Watch the commercial above and decide: Great ad? Or great ad… with an agenda?
Back on the road for press duties, Emma Stone made her way to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Saturday (February 4).
The “Help” hottie looked worn down from the overseas flight as she deboarded her aircraft before being escorted through the crowded South American terminal.
Miss Stone is in town to attend a press junket for her upcoming movie “The Amazing Spider-Man” – which hits theaters in the States and Brazil on July 3, 2012.
Co-starring her real life beau Andrew Garfield (who didn’t make to trip to Rio), the Marc Webb directed picture sees “Peter Parker find a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father’s former partner.”
Awesome. Now I can’t stop trying to remember the warthog’s name from The Lion King. Welcome to Friday’s The Crap We Missed where we see that Whitney Houston‘s back at the top of her game, Russell Brands‘s nipples will feed Beverly Hills’ homeless (as well as sex them all into salvation) and for Christ’s sake Read More …
It’s a doubly great day to be an Adam Lambert fan today.
First, the singer announced that he would front an upcoming tour with the remaining band members of Queen, hitting up various arenas and stadiums in honor of late singer Freddie Mercury.
Now, Lambert has released the official music video for his latest single – off his soon-to-be-released album – “Better Than I Know Myself.” In it, we see two sides of the singer, as a pair of personalities square off; one is all dark and leather-y, the other calm, serene, sipping on tea even.
Wanna watch the official music video for Nicki Minaj’s latest track, “Stupid Hoe?” You better scroll down and press Play.
Because you won’t find it on BET.
That network has banned the video, sources confirm to TMZ, and although no statement has been released regarding the decision, it’s clearly based on the explicit nature of both the video (which features Minaj dancing in a cage and wearing a thong, along with other nearly-naked women and a monkey) and the lyrics themselves.
Which repeat the words “stupid hoe” about 10 times per chorus.
Check out the controversial video now and then vote in our poll.
